The so-called security satellite project would be the first time the space agency has been part of a project to build space technology. The security satellite will help monitor where the hundreds of thousands of satellites are orbiting around the earth. He said satellite security will help develop local human resources in space technology. ACM Prachin said space technology is part of Thailand's natural resources and farm policy.
